#SONOMAS will return in 2019

The Mother of all Singletrack

This event is not a joke. It is a true test of your fitness in every sense. Lake Sonoma is a very rugged place with the terrain to match. Isolation is a regular condition out there, so be safe and try to silence the nagging voices in your head. In short, if you’re considering entering this event, you should be training for it.

Awards

Our sponsors are generous folks, and you can rest assured that in addition to having a chance of taking home one of our beautiful medals at the podium, there will be a great big mountain of prizes from our sponsors to get through. We’ll also be awarding CASH purses to Pro Men, Pro Women, and Singlespeed categories as well. A minimum of 10 racers in a given category is required in order to receive a cash payout. You must be present in order to receive any prizes or awards given for placing in your category.

"Classic" Course Description

The course is 34.5 grueling miles of steep terrain. The climbs are short, steep, and come at you constantly. The descents are of a similar character. There are very few long climbs to set into and just as few long descents to use to get around all those people who passed you on the climbs. Expect to pedal, and should you be racing your singlespeed, do some research when selecting your gearing.

Schedule

FRIDAY before the race

Though there is not an official camping area, our permit allows riders to camp at Warm Springs and Liberty Glen Recreation Areas. Just bring either your rider packet, or your confirmation email. If you want to camp at the official Liberty Glen campsite, then you would need to register with the county at their website here.
